I've done all my grown up stuff, so I've added a few rounds to my mini Charlotte's Universe. It's still a bit muggy here, so I'm enjoying using my cotton Sugar Rush thread 💙 I've just finished 624 backpost single crochets with a 1.5mm hook though, so I might need a coffee 😜 I really love how this is working up, it's going to become a wall hanging when I'm finished and doesn't it just whisper calm 😌💙

I'm sort of still here 😜 So my Instagram looks quite normal again, have I missed something? I haven't fiddled with any settings, but let's hope it lasts! Anyway, I remembered that I hadn't shared my finished very pink socks! This yarn is so difficult to capture, but it's one of my all time faves 💗 It's called Jelly Tot Pop and from the fabulous Sam over at @blackstagyarn 💜 If you've not tried Sam's yarn yet, please do, because they are so lovely to use! (Nothing affiliated here, just a happy customer) This colour glows, it's pretty much neon and has purple flecks through it. The pattern is @winwickmum 's basic 4ply socks and also a favourite of mine 💜

This 'new' Instagram feed isn't too great is it? I want pictures, not videos and I want to see who I follow instead of suggested accounts in which I have no interest. Ugh. Anyway, moaning over and I wanted to show a new start (well, unless you saw this on Twitter already 😜)

This is Ocean Deep by @carolynmanningdesigns using the charted DMC floss on 18 count aida and I am having such a fun time stitching this. It's inspired by a quilt top and has a lovely mix of colour blocks and more intricate motifs. There are so many to choose from, but the colours in this one were right up my street 💙💜💚

As the weather is getting warmer, I am leaning more towards stitching and trying not to start all the things!

Now that these have been gifted, I can share! I made these little baby booties for my lovely colleague who is expecting her first child 💚 it was fun to combine two crafts; the crochet booties and then the macramé strap. These were really quick to make and really satisfying! Try not to pass out at seeing a finish on my page 😜 Happy weekend everyone!

We have a square again! I've been a bit absent lately as life has been a bit busy/poop/stressful, but after this next week, I'm hoping it'll be a bit calmer! I have been having a fun afternoon working on my Charlotte's Universe and I'm just getting all the stitches in around the square 💙
Pattern by the fabulous @barbertondaisy and free on Dedri's blog 💙
Thread is by my fave @scheepjes Sugar Rush and I'm using a 1.5mm hook 💙

Happy..... Saturday? It is Saturday, isn't it? These bank holidays always throw me 😂 I'm having a quiet moment adding a few rounds to this very pink sock 💗 I've also started reading the Hobbit, as I've never read it before and after signing up for a Lord of the Rings distance challenge, thought I'd read up on the whole series!
I hope you are having a fabulous bank holiday and enjoying the sun 🌞
Pattern is by @winwickmum and is the Basic 4 ply Sock Pattern, free on the website 💙
Yarn is one of my fave ever skeins called Jelly Tot Pop from one of my fave dyers @blackstagyarn 💕

Hi everyone, sorry, it's been ages since I posted,

Hi everyone, sorry, it's been ages since I posted, but there's been a lot going on and I'm currently recovering from some minor surgery. I'm on some painkillers and they really make me not want to do anything, but I've decided today to try and cut them down and see how I get on. Anyway, we are here for the making, so I've finished the yoke of my Dustland sweater and separated the sleeves. The pattern is from @westknits and I'm using @stylecraftyarns Special Aran in Storm Blue 💙
This pattern is such a perfect one for those times we struggle to keep our focus as it's simple, but with enough changes to keep you on your toes!

Two posts in two days? Well how could I not share

Two posts in two days? Well how could I not share this fabulously pink sock! I have to get the second one cast on, but I think it's going to be impossible to be sad while wearing these 😁
The yarn is Jelly Tot Pop by the wonderfully talented Sam over at @blackstagyarn and is one of my favourite skeins ever! It's so bright, it's so pink and it's so soft!
The pattern is @winwickmum 's brilliantly written basic 4-ply sock pattern and is perfect for absolute beginners because it's so clearly explained. If you can knit and purl, you can knit these socks 💜
Those cute elephant stitch markers are from the fabulous Emma at @atomicknitting who is also selling stitch markers to raise money for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal 🇺🇦
Right, I'm off to cast on the other one now!

Happy sunny Saturday everyone! I've added to the WIP pile with the Dustland sweater from @westknits 💙 This is the first sweater I've ever tried and I'm using @stylecraftyarns Special Aran in Storm Blue as well as my new row counter and stitch markers from Emma over at @atomicknitting 🇺🇦 These were made to raise money for the DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal 🇺🇦
